Geocache Description:


I did not think that I would ever make a long winded Geocache description, well here it is.

In the 18th century, Benjamin Franklin conducted extensive research in electricity. He had theories on the relationship between lightning and static electricity, including his famous kite-flying experiment, which was a key attached to a wet string and kite. During a lightning storm a small spark struck his finger showing that lightning is electricity. It sparked the interest of later scientists whose work provided the basis for modern electrical technology. Most notably these include Luigi Galvani, Alessandro Volta, Michael Faraday, André-Marie Ampère and Georg Simon Ohm.

I hope that you take a few minutes and think were the world would be today without these individuals. Or if it compels you to do some quick research and refresh up on all that stuff you thought you would never need in school.

You will figure this cache out in no time. You might want to bring some cheap/old bread to feed the local ducks. Hope you have fun and enjoy the hunt.
